I have a 1942 War Office OS map which has it as Llanerch-celli.
You can take a virtual stroll around the area as it is now on Google Streetview- search for Rhysnant Hall Motte. Llanerch-celli is not...

I managed to find my father's service number by accident.
I googled him by name and rank-it came up with various entries in the London Gazette showing promotions, postings etc- and they all gave his...

Goodbye Ann- and thankyou for your knowledge, enthusiasm and willingness to help.

If your mum knows the name of anyone who died in the pub you can search the Civilian War Dead 1939-1945
index on the CWG website. This gives the date & location of the death which would find the...

You might like to listen to "Start the Week" BBC Radio 4 Monday 21/0/19 - you can access it via the BBC website. Thomas Harding was discussing his book.

Your post led me to look at my father' s service record as he was based at Andover in the same period (1963-66)
There is a gap for those years with no mention of Andover!
I went to two Andover...

Sounds like you had a great time! It may be lightweight but we all had to start somewhere and if it gets more people hooked on genealogy....
I will be watching and cheering you on from nearby...

There is a 1952 magazine article (4 pages) for sale on a well known auction site (keywords alec de antiquis should find it)
May be entirely unhelpful but you never know!

If you look at melocki.org.uk you will find transcriptions of registers for Shropshire parishes - I have Yockleton ancestors & found many of them in Albebury, Pontesbury and Westbury transcripts. It...

She flew straight over us, very low.
Wonderful.

Try a forum called West Bromwich Photos (just google it)
Really helpful & knowledgeable people - & reading some of the old posts will probably bring back some memories!
Good luck & enjoy your visit...

Thanks Peter -we may be able to find his NI number.

Thanks Megan- I can't do that because his wife who is still living (over 100 yrs old) is very reluctant to tell her daughter anything- and this is what makes it so difficult. I have no doubt she...

You will have to forgive me as I am a total novice as far as service records are concerned -that's why I'm asking stupid questions!

We know his name, his approx. year of birth, his father's name,...

My sister in law's dad died in the 1960s. She has no information on his date or place of birth. She knows his fathers name but not his mothers. It is a common name (of course!) so trying to trace his...

I found lots of information on my family,including photos,...

Once upon a time I was 16 years old (a very long time ago) & had decided that brown was the new black. Having bought some fabric dye and borrowed my mum's giant pan, I'm stirring my evil brew on the...

Hope this helps

Couldn't agree more! But do you find yourself thinking 1880 wasn't long ago? It seems quite recent in terms of family history!
And how could I ever have been bored by history lessons at school?

Hi there!

I have a few Woodhalls in my tree -mainly licensed victuallers from West Brom. There is a useful site which lists All Saints West Brom Marriages 1654-1837-find it at...

Hi Leisha
You're right-it is great how one thing leads to another like this! Once I have the inscription details I will make sure they appear on this thread.
The Fazan family were very...
